Chapter 148 The troops arrived at
Qingzhou City. The city gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers stood guard at the city gate, ready to attack.
But the cold wind was too biting, making them shiver.
In fact, it would be a lie to say that they are not afraid.
Everyone is afraid of death, and once war comes, it will be a narrow escape situation.
And they also knew that Yundinghou's army was dozens of times larger than theirs.
Even if they were defending the city, they were still stubbornly resisting.
This Qingzhou City cannot be defended at all.
But as defenders, they must hold on no matter how scared they are.
Because there are so many people behind them, as well as their families and friends.
What's more, this is their mission and responsibility as defenders.
If you run away from the battlefield, how can you face your family and friends?
After he died, he would be too embarrassed to go to the underworld to meet his elders.
So even if he died in battle, he would have died well.
Of course, most soldiers don't have that much thought.
They only know that orders are greater than the sky, and they can only stand back in life and death.
As long as they are here, the city cannot be easily invaded by the enemy.
It's that simple.
Soon after, the scouts also brought back news.
Yundinghou's army has already set up camp near the Qingshui River three miles away, with at least 50,000 troops.
After hearing the news, the expressions of the patrol battalion commander Lin Fei, the general Li Yu, and the gang commanders became more solemn.
They finally came, and now that they have set up camp, they are making preparations to attack the city.
In other words, they are very likely to attack the city tonight.
Moreover, the opponent has at least 50,000 troops. Their patrol camp and the soldiers from various houses in the city total less than a thousand people.
With the strength of a thousand people facing a night siege by an army of 50,000, it was unknown whether they could hold out until dawn.
News of the arrival of Yundinghou's army soon spread in the city.
People were panicked for a while, and the atmosphere in the entire city became even more depressing.
Everyone is hiding at home, not knowing what to do, and not knowing what will happen tomorrow. It can be said that they are in panic.
Compared with most people in the city, Wei Xue and Wei Qing were not that panicked.
However, I was still somewhat worried about the war at the border and Wei Tieshan.
In fact, after Wei Yi heard that fighting had begun on the border, he also planned to wait for the opportunity.
If the war situation there is really not optimistic, he plans to help.
As a result, within a few days I heard about the Yundinghou mutiny.
So we can only stay temporarily to stabilize the rear.
And he also believed that King Jing'an's army would definitely not be defeated by the enemy so easily.
Otherwise, the Zhao family would have ceased to exist long ago.
The Zhao family has guarded the western gate of the Great Yan Dynasty for so many years, and their reputation is not in vain.
Zhao Jinsi also said that his brother would definitely be able to defend the country.
However, after resolving the crisis in Qingzhou City, Wei Yi was still planning to go to the border to help completely eliminate the invading enemy forces there.
I also stopped by to see my second uncle.
After all, only when the border is peaceful can Qingzhou City truly settle down.
Only then will my aunt and sister feel at ease.
At that time, I just took the opportunity to ask King Jing'an to get his second uncle back.
This way the family can truly be reunited.
In a hall of Prince Jing'an's Mansion.
The Zhao family is gathering together to talk about the upcoming war in Qingzhou City.
In fact, it is not so much the war in Qingzhou City as it is the war in their Zhao family.
Maybe others can't understand, but the old prince Zhao Yinxiong knows it better than anyone else.
This is a conspiracy against their Zhao family.
No, or it’s already a conspiracy.
The new emperor ascended the throne and summoned the strongest member of the Zhao family to the capital, but he has not returned yet.
At the same time, the border war broke out, the Zhao family's army was restrained by the enemy, and all troops in Qingzhou were transferred to the border for support. That Yunding Hou would not mutiny sooner or later, but he mutinied at this time.
Moreover, he was just a Yunding Marquis, so he had no qualifications at all, and no reason to launch a mutiny.
It's completely self-destructive.
After the mutiny, they did not attack the cities in the south that were surrounded by land and were easier to capture.
But he traveled a long distance all the way to the west to attack Qingzhou City, where a group of strong men from the Zhao family were stationed.
This doesn't make sense at all.
So it is obvious that this is the conspiracy of the Celestial Being Sect.
It looks like they are attacking Qingzhou City, but in fact they are targeting their Zhao family.
So at this time, Zhao Yinxiong also looked solemn and felt heavy.
Although there are many strong people in the Zhao family, and although he is old, he was once a second-grade warrior, and his combat power is still very strong.
Not to mention that one man can defeat ten thousand men, but he definitely has the ability of ten thousand armies to take the heads of enemy generals.
But Zhao Yinxiong knew it very well.
It's impossible for the Genting Lord not to know what levels of powerful people the Zhao family has now.
In other words, it is impossible for the Celestial Being Sect not to know.
They played such a big game, it was impossible not to be fully prepared.
Therefore, it is definitely not just Yunding Hou’s army that is coming this time.
The monks of Tianren Sect will definitely hide among them, and they may even be hiding in Qingzhou City.
Just wait for the right time to take action against their Zhao family warriors.
This time is not only a disaster for Qingzhou City, but also a disaster for their Zhao family.
"The Celestial Being Sect finally couldn't hold back and took action!" Zhao Yin said ambitiously.
But naturally the Zhao family cannot sit still and wait for death.
If the Heavenly Man Sect really dares to take action, the Zhao family will risk their lives to let the Heavenly Man Sect know that the top martial arts families in the Great Yan Dynasty are not so easy to deal with.
If they want to get rid of the Zhao family, their Tianren Sect will have to pay a heavy price.
At this time, those who were discussing countermeasures with Zhao Yinxiong were all adult men of the Zhao family.
The female family members did not participate.
So at this time, Zhao Jinsi was in the study, writing quietly.
She felt calmer than anyone in the Zhao family.
First of all, as a child of the Zhao family, she is naturally a woman who is not inferior to men, and is mentally strong enough to not be afraid of life or death.
Moreover, he also believed in the strength of his family, believed in Wei Yi, believed in the Confucianism and Taoism Academy in Qingzhou City, and believed in everyone in the Tianxia Alliance.
She still remembers the sword that split the sea of clouds.
She believed that Wei Yi was absolutely capable of turning the tide.
What's more, with so many people facing it together, why should she be afraid?
In the afternoon, the barracks were set up, and Zhou Gou, the eldest son of Yunding Hou, led an army of 30,000 people and set off toward Qingzhou City in a mighty manner.
Although their plan was to attack the city at night.
But psychological warfare before the war is still necessary.
Their tens of thousands of troops were approaching the city, and the visual pressure and shock alone were enough to destroy most of their morale.
When the time comes, some trash talk and threats will be made, and tens of thousands of people will call out in unison, which will probably scare the defenders half to death.
Maybe we can let them open the door and surrender without losing any blood.
In this way, they can save a lot of energy and spend all their energy on killing gangs in the city and looting finances.
Zhou Gou thought so in his heart.
Not long after, Qingzhou City appeared in sight.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Gou's lips, and he immediately ordered the entire army to speed up their pace.
At the same time, the defenders on the city wall naturally saw the mighty army approaching in the distance.
The dark, dense figures were like a scourge, like a black cloud, coming from the end of the horizon.
It indeed brought great pressure and shock to their hearts.
It gave them a chill in their hearts, and it felt as if the cold wind seemed to be even more biting.
